ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
How to develop your own unique voice in jazz. How to play new ideas in your soloing. The art of listening. The role of the guitar as a chord playing instrument within a group (comping). The connection between the dynamics of the voice and the dynamics of musical expression and why an understanding of such enables us to find our own voices and our own personal means of expression. Everyone who would like to can play!
